When 2 best friends are just one week apart, how can you NOT do a double birthday party? On Dec 7th, 2008 (the Sunday night between the 2 birthdays: Ethan=Dec 1, Jack=Dec 9th) we had a little get together for these two monkeys. Although it was a VERY low key celebration, we had a great time. Pictures say it all:
Jack: "Ooohhh, Look at those yummy cup cakes!" Ethan: "Could life get any better? All of these treats at my fingertips!"
Their faces say it all! We pulled the cupcakes away, pushed the dirt and Tonka trucks a little closer, and they couldn't resist...
We were planning on giving the kids the cupcakes, and the adults this yummy "Oreo Madness" cake, but I guess the boys wanted to stake their claim on what they thought should be rightfully theirs!
There was some definite "double digging" :-)
As soon as I took Jack's church clothes off, I felt much better about letting him dig into whatever he wanted (no pun intended). Afterall you only turn 2 once, right? He literally had frosting all the way up his arms. OH I love his pudgy little fingers.
Ethan couldn't decide which one he wanted more, the cupcake or the present! I'm pretty sure that was his 5th cupcake in about a 2 minute span... and he's still being so polite using his utensils.
If the trucks on top of the mud cake weren't enough, we gave the boys some real Tonka trucks! Jack got a bulldozer and Ethan got a dump truck. Pretty much the best birthday ever. What more could a little boy want?
